Colombians opened the score midway through the first half when Francisco Zuluaga converted a penalty. Uruguayan harsh tackling led to Zuluaga's injury. In the second half Uruguay could come back from behind with Luis Cubilla and José Sasía's shots.[2]

Soviet Union vs Yugoslavia

The Soviet Union dominated the game from the beginning. Soon after half time, they opened the score when Viktor Ponedelnik hit the bar with a free kick and Valentin Ivanov headed in the rebound. In the last minutes, Ponedelnik scored from the edge of the area.[2]

Tragedy struck ten minutes before the final whistle, when Eduard Dubinski was carried away with a broken leg after a clash with Muhamed Mujić, who was later sent home by his team. Dubinski died almost seven years later in 1969 of sarcoma.[3][4]
